>Banks who had landed a couple recurring roles, was mostly known as a "job" actor, going from role to role like a hollywood scavenger, that was until Vince Gilligan took him by the hand and gently placed his hand on the walk of fame starting with his role on "Breaking Bad".

In the same vein Rhea Seehorn is a very obvious mention.

Did you actually read the image you saved and posted, that "did you know" "fact" is so stupid it's laughable

If you believe them, ALL hollywood actors are extremely lucky as they had 0.47 or so cents to their name and went to their first audition on an empty stomach (yeah right)
>>
>>216931824
Would be incredibly funny if Banks was found out to be a nepo baby

>>216932030
Well his father is probably a banker.

Do you think nepobaby just means "their family wasnt poor"?
Civil servant dad and teacher/secretary mom isnt exactly "i have all the doors open in Hollwood."
>>
>>216932343
No, but in Banks' case he could play actor because mommy and daddy gave him a weekly allowance at 35 years old

Are people genuinely stupid on this site? Or are you all 16?

>>216931581
This image is fucking retarded, Breaking Bad came before BCS you fucking baiting moron
Anyways Banks IS talented, an actual fact is that he came up with Mike not being Stacy's father but being her father in law during the filming of BB and you can hear him give his thoughts to Gilligan during one of the commentary tracks during season 3 or 4 (I actually think it's the scene where Mike uses balloons to blow out the electricity near the Golden Moth Chemical plant where the chinese dude is kidnapped). This was used as the basis for his BCS plotline. He also did a ton of improv like making the Mike rant in Five-O way more emotional than intended
>>216932439
wtf cares if he's a nepo baby retard? Banks is a good actor. Why bitch about him when you could be bitching about actual talentless hacks like Jack Black or Chris Pratt or Pedro Pascal
>>
>>216932343
this site is full of morons and contrarians. There are threads on /mu/ that claim that Frank Zappa was a CIA plant because his dad was a meteorologist at a local air force base.
>>
>>216933002
Nobody said anything about CIA industry plants strawmanner, Banks parents were relatively well off and socially and financially secure, he enjoyed a certain social safety net
>>216932958

>Let me tell you who to criticize
>>216932556
>All secretaries are just typists who get fucked by their bosses, no other kind of profession exists that has the title of secretary
>>
>>216933279
idk if you are dense but people are arguing with you because there's a difference between he comes from a well off background and was afforded the opportunity to become an actor vs parents knew people and got him roles he wouldn't have ordinarily gotten. please qualify exactly how a secretary to an admiral short tracked an acting career without any vague platitudes like "they must have known people"
>>
>>216932389
>he could play actor because mommy and daddy gave him a weekly allowance
And he was doing that in shitty, bit parts until Vince decided to prop him up.
What's your point? Lots of people do this. Not all of them get discovered.
>>216932439
>I'm not even American
that explains it.
A secretary to navy and cia is not "a cia mother", retard.
your brain is fried with q conspiracies.
>>
>>216933398
>Q conspiracies
Another strawman, CIA staff are paid very well, always have been, nothing to do with NWO or the Cabal
>>216933363
>they must have known people
It's not a platitude, this is becoming more and more apparent in recent times, people with parents who have generally innocuous careers are now celebrities, Sam Bankman Fried for example had parents in academia but closer examination showed there's a generational nexus of people helping each other's children across industries and sectors, it's no longer the era of doctors son becoming a doctor, and given frothy mouthed reaction of people ITT I'm convinced that you all are of the same entrenched backgrounds, and yet failing to make it as writers and musicians, I feel for you
>>
>>216933797
>CIA staff are paid very well
So again you show you have no clue what a nepobaby is.
Having money =/= nepobaby, moron.
>>
>>216934188
Very well paid *and* connected, I might add, but then it's probably irrelevant to stupid niggers what I write, and there is such a thing as a closed loop of elites who horde opportunities for their own, they might be hierarchial in those opportunities but still it's for insiders only, and why are you only focusing on his mother being a secretary, if she worked for OSS during wartime then she would've had considerable influence in post war CIA and she later on became a Professor, that automatically makes her part of the entrenched elites

Do you really don't know the concept of revolving doors, social closure, old boy networks etc., it's not the type of power a family has but the amount of it
>>
>>216934518
>*and* connected
you might, but it's bullshit you pulled out of your ass.
Show the connection.
Even IF there was, that ISNT NEPOTISM!!
You can hint at and buzzword about networking all you want.
It only shows you have no fucking clue.
>>
>>216934949
Ok good luck to your career by the way, and buzzwords exist to condense concepts that are limited by the character limit, surely an MA in English literature such as yourself would know that
>>
>>216932030
Banks wants to empty the banks, fill our streets with banks, and run a banks making operation out of his banks.
>>
>>216935092
>good luck to your career by the way
Thank you, the engineering is going well.
Sounds like yours is tied up in internet battles? That must be exhausting.
>buzzwords exist to condense concepts that are limited by the character limit
Nepobaby does NOT simply mean anyone with a rich parent.
Show the connection, faggot.
>>
>>216934518
you’re a seething broke nigger loser faggot and you should do the world a favor and kys
>>
I still remember him from Wise guy
>>
>>216935179
Nta but you're arguing with a jeet. Nepotism and networking probably translate to the same word in Hindi and sanjay won't accept that English is more concise.

>”ok my secretary mrs banks, we need you to get your son to work low paying jobs as an actor for several years, when the time is right he’ll be cast in a role replacing another actor who isn’t available. THEN several years after that he’ll become the face of a meme called “kid named finger,” which will be essential to our survival as a nation
you’re fucking retarded

He was a last minute riff on the "fixer" cliche (like The Wolf in Pulp Fiction) to fill in for Saul after Bob had scheduling conflicts. It makes a lot of sense to cast a lower key character actor (a term scrubbed from his Wikipedia article in 2011, lol) in that role. Breaking Bad did this pretty frequently where characters like Jesse, Tuco, Gus, Saul himself, and Lydia were supposed to have very short runs but the writers felt like the characters and their actors landed enough that they graduated into the main cast.
>>
>>216937899
Less that they "landed well enough" and more that the crew and Vince himself loved them more than the original plans
For instance with Jesse, he was supposed to last a couple of episodes and BB was going to devolve into a weird "Walt becomes a psycho who kidnaps a drug leader and tortures him" subplot. It was only after Aaron Paul became beloved in the studio that Vince realized how retarded his original plotline was and completely canned it
This happened routinely. The actors are as important to BB and BCS' quality as the writing crew
